Benchmark leaks for Intel’s upcoming Raptor Lake Refresh desktop processors continue to surface, providing insights into the expected performance improvements. The latest leak features a Geekbench result for the Core i5-14600KF, a mid-range CPU in the Raptor Lake Refresh lineup.
In the leaked benchmark, the Core i5-14600KF achieved a single-core score of 2,794 and a multi-core score of 17,190. These scores represent a 5% improvement in single-core performance and a significant 17% improvement in multi-core performance compared to its predecessor, the Intel Core i5-13600K.
The benchmark was conducted on an Asus Z790 motherboard with 32GB of DDR5-6000 system RAM. The result also confirms the CPU’s boost speed of 5.3GHz, which aligns with previous rumors about the clock speed of the Core i5-14600K.
Raptor Lake Refresh is expected to bring incremental clock speed improvements to Intel’s existing 14th-gen processors. While the leaked benchmark results look promising, it’s important to approach such leaks with some caution, as they represent early performance data that may not be entirely reflective of the final product.
Intel’s Raptor Lake Refresh processors are rumored to be launching in October 2023, with the potential to challenge AMD’s Ryzen 7000 series in the desktop CPU market. These leaks offer an early glimpse into what consumers can expect from Intel’s next-generation processors, but official details and reviews will provide a more comprehensive assessment of their performance.
